OPINION

 

Thailand travel opens up to vaccinated tourists, but who from Asia is visiting? It might just be the Indians

 

● Tourists from China, Japan, South Korea, Laos and Cambodia still face a variety of hurdles, from mandatory quarantines on return to outright re-entry bans

 

● But if Thailand can provide a road map towards a safe reopening for the rest of us to follow, it will not have come a moment too soon

It’s official, Thai tourism is back in business. After 18 long and economically arduous months, the Land of Smiles is getting back to doing what it does best – showing international travellers an excellent time.
